The values 'High', 'Medium', and 'Low' are Identified as common values for multiple picklist across different object. What is an approach a developer can take to streamline maintenance of the picklist and their values, while also restricting the values to the ones mentioned above?
A. Create the Picklist on each object and use a Global Picklist Value Set containing the Values.
B. Create the Picklist on each object as a required field and select "Display values alphabeticaly, not in the order entered".
C. Create the Picklist on each object and select "Restrict picklist to the values defined in the value set".
D. Create the Picklist on each and add a validation rule to ensure data integrity.
A. Create the Picklist on each object and use a Global Picklist Value Set containing the Values.
Explanation:
When multiple objects use the same picklist values (e.g., 'High', 'Medium', 'Low'), the best practice is to:
Define the values once in a Global Picklist Value Set, and
Reference it when creating picklist fields on different objects.
This makes it easier to manage and update values centrally, while also restricting entries to just the predefined list.
Why the other options are incorrect:
B. Alphabetical display setting – Only affects the order of display, not maintenance or restrictions.
C. "Restrict picklist to values defined in value set" – This is good practice, but without using a Global Value Set, you’d have to maintain values separately on each object.
D. Validation rule to ensure data integrity – Not efficient or scalable; better handled with restricted picklists and value sets.
